I'm confused??
SCENARIO A:If the alt wire is hooked to the side of the cutoff that has the cable going to the ft of the car, then, if the sw. is opened to cut off battery power to the cable, the alt output will continue to backfeed the cable to the starter, thus the systems on the car stay hot as long as the engine runs.
SCENARIO B:However, if the alt output wire is hooked to the batt. + side of the cutoff and the cutoff is opened, there is no way for the alt output to get to the cable to the starter, thus the alt output is not a source to the rest of the systems in the car...
YES- NO???
I had a Camaro here recently that had been hooked up as in scenario A. It continued to run when the cutoff was opened. The wire was moved to the batt. side and the engine shut off when the sw. was opened. We left it that way. [The "trik relay kit" had been toasted for some reason] works for me!!
Back to wonderin?? AND gettin ready for BG!!
